The Hardest Part Of Traveling No One Talks About

You see the world, try new things, meet new people, fall in love, visit amazing places, learn about other cultures – then it’s all over. People always talk about leaving, but what about coming home? We talk about the hard parts while we’re away – finding jobs, making real friends, staying safe, learning social norms, misreading people you think you can trust – but these are all parts you get through. All of these lows are erased by the complete highs you experience. The goodbyes are difficult but you know they are coming, especially when you take the final step of purchasing your plane ticket home. All of these sad goodbyes are bolstered by the reunion with your family and friends you have pictured in your head since leaving in the first place. Then you return home, have your reunions, spend your first two weeks meeting with family and friends, catch up, tell stories, reminisce, etc. You feel angry. This is why once you’ve traveled for the first time all you want to do is leave again.

It’s More Difficult To Jump Than To Fall: Failure Is The Easy PartHow amazing would it be if winning were easy? Winning, coming out on top and considering yourself successful all take much effort. In fact, if winning isn’t a challenge, then you didn’t really win, did you? The outcome of any competition doesn’t matter quite as much as the challenge that the competition presents, as well how we face that challenge. Did we meet it head on? There are several points in our life when we reach such a chasm. The chasm’s width depends on the challenge at hand. Life’s chasms come in all different shapes and sizes. The distance from one side to the other is the distance you are going to have to jump in order to make it to the other side successfully. The question is whether or not you’re willing to jump it.

You either have to get across, or make it back down to the ground.
